  1. I can see what you mean Don. I just had a look (my Zumo is still in the box). Definitely not a good idea to try that one. Thanks Keith
  2. What I was thinking about was that mount with a longer arm ? Would that work or be too far out there ? Keith
  3. Has anyone tried this type of Ram Mount for their GPS on a 2nd Gen ? Looks interesting but I'm curious how it would look. www.ram-mount.com/NewProducts/MotorcycleClampMount/tabid/2038/Default.aspx Keith

  6. Not sure if this would be an option ? (Barsnake) Keith www.barsnake.com
  7. Way back when I bought my 77 Honda 750 I bought a set of Phillips T Handle screw drivers that fit perfectly. I came across this article that gives a good explanation of the difference. Screw Grab is a product that you can get to help witht he stripped head. Keith www.katun.com/products/toolsjis.html http://www.screwgrab.com
  8. Does this help. Keith
  9. Does This diagram help? Keith
  10. Check out this link www.canadiancruisercustomizing.com Its a new internet based company I came across the other day....located in British Columbia. All kinds of LED options May be some info there. Keith
  11. That's GREAT news !!! I have been in that same situation myself and can relate....I didn't have to relocate like you did but I was out of work for close to 3 years....no fun. Working now for less money...love it.....never been happier. Enjoy the new job!!! Keith
  12. Oh Ya this guy was dead serious.....he's no longer there for some reason !! I was explaining to him that I replaced the weaker magnetic one in the rear diff with a stronger one and that's when his comment surfaced about why they are magnetic to begin with....guess it was his defense of the weak magnet in the rear diff plug. And no I don't get any work done there. Keith
  13. Well when I told the Service Manager at my dealership that I replaced the oil drain plug with a magnetic one he commented......"its only magnetic so you can attach it to the bike when changing the oil so it would be easier to find"! Oh Boy!!! Keith
  14. Here is a write up on the rear wheel removal.......front pretty straight forward! Keith www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=515
  15. Monty When I put back on the stock end weights I used a piece of 3/4" ID copper water pipe. I can't tell you the length but I had to trim a bit to get the spacing I wanted for the throttle end. Then I used loctite on the weights. Hope this helps Keith
  16. Nothing worse than losing a nut! Here's my .99 solution Keith http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27341&highlight=lost+seat+hold
  17. I haven't contacted Samsung yet.........I guess that will be my next step. Keith
  18. I just purchased a Zumo660 and a Samsung U450 cell phone. I know of a person from the Zumo forums that has the same phone and has no problems using it with the Zumo. I am able to pair them and they talk to each other and both list each other but I am getting a message on the phone "connected as data mode M" and then the Zumo disconnects. I've tried phone to the Zumo and the Zumo to the phone and get the same result! I contacted Garmin and they tell me because the phone is not on their list they can't offer me any help. Any Ideas ????? Thanks Keith
  19. Joe Have a look at this site...lots of N.S. info there Keith www.motorcycletourguidens.com You can order free guides/maps here https://novascotia.com/en/home/planatrip/travel_guides/default.aspx?utm_source=lure&utm_medium=motorcycleguide&utm_campaign=motorcyclelit
  20. Nice job on the mods Wally! Did you ever try or use any sort of sun shade on your Zumo ? Or is it necessary ? Keith
  21. Hi Wally The bib I have is a Hopnel. I used a Wire holder as shown on the picture and used a couple of rivets to mount it that I picked up at the shoe repair shop.(Not sure if the clip was mounted to the tank when I bought the bike?) Behind the plug itself I had the shoe guy install an eyelet and I just use a elastic hair tie to hold it in place. I just tied a knot in the tie and put it out through the hole. It stays in place and can't move around. A couple of more pictures attached.....if you need more let me know. Keith
  22. This is what I have done. But you do need a tank bib with a pouch! Keith
  23. If you are looking for a Zumo 660 these guys have it on for $739.95CDN. www.gpscentral.ca/products/garmin/zumo-660.html I ordered mine from Future Shop and got free shipping plus price matching & 10% of the difference - $733+tax. Keith
  24. If you are looking for a free photo editing program you can find one here. (I have several programs but I like how this one functions.) www.giveawayoftheday.com On that site is a full program that you can download and install and have a full working copy. The only catch is that you have to download and install it within the time shown on the screen. If you wait till later to install it won't work. There is a different program every 24 hrs. Not sure if this site was posted before...if so ooops!!! Keith
  25. Would the one offered in this thread be what you are looking for ? www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=429854#post429854 Keith
